Golden Mile Food Centre was opened in 1975 for the resettlement of street hawkers from Jalan Sultan. Now, it houses famous hawker stalls that offer a variety of local dishes such as char kway teow, hokkien mee and chicken rice. We’ve rounded up the top 10 stalls here that are worth putting on the calories for.

Charlie’s Peranakan

Uncle Charlie’s mother is a Peranakan. He picked up his culinary skills from her, and started selling Peranakan cuisine in Bukit Merah since the 1980s. Their menu is quite impressive – it consists of Peranakan dishes such as Babi Assam, Beef Stew, Toh Hay, Itek Sio, Bakwan Kepiting, Chap Chye and Babi Pongteh.

Hainan Hokkien Mee

This is perhaps the driest plate of hokkien mee you can find in Singapore! The owner leaves the stock to simmer till it has evaporated, ensuring that the flavours are locked into the yellow noodles and bee hoon. Therefore, you get a plate of hokkien mee that’s immensely rich in flavours, with a lingering smoky fragrance!

91 Fried Kway Teow Mee

Ever heard of char kway teow with chye sim and ikan billis as toppings? Well, you can find it here! Owner, Mr. Tan, explained that his char kway teow is stir-fried with a special broth that takes about 10 hours to prepare. The wok hei is really gratifying. Adding ikan billis into each plate gives the dish a nice crunch, with an accentuated savouriness. This is a twist on the traditional char kway teow, and is certainly worth a try.

Burgs

Burgs serves up quality gourmet burgers at extremely affordable prices. You can get scrumptious burger sets for less than $10 here, and each set comes with thick cut fries that, to our delight, can be swapped for onion rings for a mere buck! Burgs also offers various sides such as Honey Soy Chicken Wings.

75 Ah Balling Tang Yuan

Despite having a few branches islandwide, 75 Ah Balling Tang Yuan still makes their great balls of love by hand, and stuffs them generously with 5 types of filling, including a unique green tea filling. The green tea glutinous rice balls are slightly chewy, yet firm. Feel the rich fillings disintegrate into a sweet mess in your mouth. Moreover, you can choose your desired soup from the classic peanut, longan, ginger, and almond soup bases.

Golden Mile Special Yong Tau Foo

Don’t set your expectations too high for this bowl of yong tau foo. It isn’t fantastic, but comforting enough, and gives one a homey feel. One of our dining partners commented that, “the yong tau foo 有妈妈煮饭的味道 (tastes like homecooked meals by his mum)”. At this stall, you have to select a minimum of 8 pieces, and only beehoon is served.

Ah Xiao Teochew Braised Duck

The duck meat, rice, and egg taste average on their own, but when eaten together, it’s actually quite good. Only plain white rice is served here, so ask for more gravy to be slathered over the rice. Usually, the standard’s pretty good, but on that particular day, the gravy is slightly too wet, and the duck meat too tough.

Prawn Village

Owner Anson was a nurse for 16 years before he embarked on this hawker journey. The broth here is made with pork ribs and chicken bones, and simmered for many hours in order to bring out the flavours. To maintain the freshness of the prawns, Anson only blanches them on the spot. Remember to request for his fiery chilli.

Kopi More

Owner Lawrence has a blend of Indonesian and Arabica beans and grinds it on the spot. What makes it so special is that Lawrence makes the coffee using an espresso machine, before adding sugar, evaporated milk and condensed milk to further enhance the aroma. Each cup is affordably priced at just $1.50! The stall serves home-baked chiffon cakes too.

Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice

Don’t be deceived if you don’t see a queue here, as customers are advised to sit down and wait for their meals to be served. The wait can be quite long, so be sure to check the waiting time before you order if you’re in a rush. The rice is fragrant, but a tad undercooked on that particular day. The chicken, on the other hand, is smooth and tender.
